This week has been full of construction. I feel like a little girl because I love watching it. They ripped the other side of the street - the pavement to put the new water lines down. And then they came and dug up that side of the street to put the lines down. We have had several days of our street closed only to local traffic and big construction vehicles back and forth all day. One day we turned the couch around and watched. Haha


(I was grateful that the port-a-pottie wasn't in front of my house! Haha)

St. Patrick's day is one of my favorite preschool holidays. We build leprechaun traps and the kids are so excited. They are whispering to each other to be quiet so the leprechaun comes! Haha


Today I had a ward conference at the same time as our ward, but I really wanted to hear Jesse speak, so I left our sacrament meeting as soon as Jesse said Amen. He, of course did a great job. He is still forgetting some English words. And I love listening to his accent. But most importantly, his testimony is strong and he's grown a lot. I'm so proud of him! One quick cute story about Jesse... He was introducing himself to an investigator and went to tell him who he was and went to point to his name badge... And then was like, oh yah.. I'm not a missionary anymore.

Bro Shoop got released from ym president and will get a new calling next week. Bro. Grubbs is the new ym president. Also, 4th ward got a new bishop, bishop Hakes was released and bishop Andrews called.

My parents came over tonight and we played card games. It was a lot of fun, but now it's late.

Love you all lots! You're always in our prayers! Keep up the good works!
